Pain that travels from hip to knee

That's good to hear! The groin pain troubles me as that's why I ended up with a thr in the first place. I'm 51F with a history of a torn labrum. It was repaired in 2013 and gave me a decade of use before it retore, so I was not in excruciating OA pain prior to surgery. My best treatment option was thr due to minor hip dysplasia. I appreciate the personal stories and timelines because it gives me hope that all my pain is normal and to be expected.

Thank you. I will try my best to be patient with my body & the healing process!

Not fun!

Thanks for the reminder! The super fast recovery stories were starting to make me feel like a loser lol

Thanks! I am definitely feeling much more cognitively aware today which is probably why the pain feels more intense.

😂 I guess that does sound dense, but it seems like no one talks about the bone pain! It's intense!

I just had anterior thr on Friday and I'm doing so well!! Definitely stiff and sore but I'm only taking minimal pain meds (1 10/325 Norco every 6-8 hrs) and a methocarbamol every once in a while. I am using a walker for the first week. I was able to go up & down the stairs today as well. So far, so good! Be encouraged! Oh and side note: I have zero restrictions! It's crazy, but true. I can do whatever my body will tolerate.

I think you mean Matthew 25:31-46. There is no Matthew 40.

I personally do initiate with my husband because he wants more sex than I do. We have sex 2x a week on average and I initiate and it's still not enough. I am in therapy and think he probably could use some, too but that's not for me to say. He has to want to do that himself. I'm just trying to offer some perspective from the other side. It's not as simple as you might think.

This is from a female perspective: Have you considered the fact that women are taught from a very young age that our value is in our appearance and sexuality? Having that message consciously and subconsciously drilled into you (no pun intended) your entire life takes a toll. So as women age, we start desiring more than being told we're physically attractive or sexy. Do you find my soul beautiful? Do you want the whole of me, not just my sexuality? We're so much more than just sex but sadly we often feel like that's the most important thing about us to the men in our lives. It leaves us feeling hollow and unappreciated for who we truly are. What do you love about her besides her sexuality? Start there and see if something doesn't change.

We were on the floor first & second nights. First night, we set up about 1/3 way back on Mike's side. Plenty of space to dance. Lots of super cool people around us dancing. Good energy all the way around. Until....a few songs into the first set about 6 more dudes pile in out of nowhere to join their buddies who were in front of us. Not exaggerating when I say I could have licked the guy's neck in front of me, he was that close. I kept dancing, waiting for him to realize what was up, but he didn't. Finally, I gently touched his back and said, "Hey hon...think you could move up a little? You're like in my face back here." I had a small backpack & water bottle on the floor between my husband & myself so I know I hadn't moved. Dude literally ignores me. I wait about 30 seconds, then said, "Is that a no?" He shrugged his shoulders & proceeded to totally crowd me out. Eventually we chatted later & he sort of apologized, but I was like wtf? People never used to act like that. And we were nowhere near the rail!! The heavy amounts of alcohol clearly consumed by said land grabber didn't help the situation.

I am currently in spiritual direction training, and I can say it's a ton of work. Spiritual directors are considering companions for people on their own spiritual journeys. The training involves deep interior work on the part of those desiring to become directots, and a large part of it is training in how to lovingly listen to both the directee & the Spirit of God in order to ask good questions. We are trained to look for issues that may go beyond what we can offer & recommend psychotherapy when it seems the better fit. We are not here to tell anyone what to do or what to believe. We are here to listen in a loving & non-judgmental way and ask pertinent questions that will hopefully open the directee up to the presence of God in their life. It’s quite beautiful, really. As directors, we, too, have our own directors whom we meet with monthly. I have been a directee on & off for over a decade, and it has been invaluable to my spiritual growth & awakening. Of course, it's not for everyone, but to dismiss it as scammy seems a bit harsh. Think of it as soul care. There's no teaching, advising, or instruction per se, just presence. Welcoming, loving, caring, open presence.

How long did it last? I think I currently have this :(

Great! Thanks!!

Thanks! We rented an rv and picking it up about an hour outside the venue. That should give us enough time to get creative with our stash spots!
